Things have been so frantic of late that I have not had a moment to do nothing. So tonight, I scheduled nothing in and now, consequently, I am soooo antsy that I don’t know what to do with myself. I was so exhausted after two months of having every second scheduled that I just wanted a night to myself to lie around and do nothing… Boy is it ever hard!
Jacmac says to me that everyday he schedules in a good hour or two of doing nothing. For me, doing nothing entails hanging out in my house, reading, watching a movie, writing or toggling obsessively between my email, facebook and my blog stats page. For Jacmac, my 70 year-old friend, doing nothing means literally sitting and staring, and even that is too much. This coming from a man who, as I’m mentioned in previous blogs, has accomplished more in one lifetime than most can in three. So I ask why? He says to me, “One day I may become incapacitated and all I will be able to do is nothing. So, I practice a little everyday.” He has a point you know.
I will now log off and that is what I will do. It will most likely last no more than 42 seconds.
